Setting to disable DirectInput when MediaPortal doesn't have focus (2 Viewers)

[Fat D]

Hi,
I really like the many control opportunities MediaPortal has to offer, the program launchers and the project in general.
However, I use the same Gamepad to control mediaportal and to play emulator games (Playstation with CD drive and SNES with ROMs). This way, if I open them from MP, they are opened, and as soon as I press X/B in the game, another instance of the emulator is opened, crashing both and forcing me to use PC input devices, which is not fun if I am in front of the TV playing and I have to go up to deactivate a small error message.
So I'm asking if there could be some checkbox to prevent MediaPortal from recieving commands while not being focussed.

hello Fat D

I also lunch my roms with a gamepad, but i have not such a problem. Which version of MP and which plugin are you using for starting the emus?

If it is MyPrograms by waeberd be sure you have checked the "Wait for Exit" box.

I use EasyApps because I can't find a setting where you don't launch a file in myprograms. However, with SNES this might be useful. Thanks.
